The Silmarillion
Featured Listen
The Hobbit is a fantasy novel by English author J.R.R. Tolkien, published in 1937. The story centers on Bilbo Baggins, a hobbit (an imaginary type of small, primitive human) who enjoys a comfortable and unambitious life in his hobbit-hole. His tranquility is disturbed when Gandalf the wizard enlists his services as a burglar on a dangerous quest.
Featured Article: The top 100 classics of all time
Before we whipped out our old high school syllabi and dug deep into our libraries to start selecting contenders for this list, we first had to answer the question, "How do we define a classic?" The answer isn’t as straightforward as you might guess, though there’s a lot to be said for the old adage, "You know it when you see it" (or, in this case, hear it). Of course, most critically, each of our picks had to be fabulous in audio. So dust off your aspirational listening list—we have some amazing additions you don’t want to miss.
